I think this the 2nd or 3rd quilt I made around Bonnie Christine's Hello, Bear line. I love it. It is whimsical and modern and sort of neutral, with pops of color, and so fun! I'd had the idea to make a 2/3s economy block quilt for a bit. In the traditional economy block, the center piece is a square, set into a diamond, set into a square. In my version, the center was a diamond, set in a square. There might actually be a name for this type of block, I just don't know of one. Here is a close up of the blocks. I added sashing in between the columns to make it a bit wider. The creamy flecked fabric in the background, Firefly, might be one of my very favorite low volume prints ever. Aside from the softness that the cream adds, there is the actual silky softness that is the staple of Art Gallery fabrics. I really like how it turned out. I decided to back it with another print from the hello, bear line, because it is just so perfect!! And I decided to quilt it minimally, just around the diamonds. You can see it well on the back above. I was unsure of binding it in the black cotton + steel sprinkle fabric, but I am so glad I did. I feel like it adds a cool dimension to the quilt. I definitely think I will make another 2/3s economy block quilt again. haha!

We normally have our local guild meetings every second Thursday evening of each month during the school year from September through June, as we meet in a nearby elementary school cafeteria. However, sometimes we have to move the date due to something going on at the school … like this month! Our first meeting is this Thursday…and it just dawned on me that I had not done anything with our summer challenge fat quarter! At the same time, I received an invite to a dear friend’s daughter’s house warming…sooooo, this little project turned out to be a “Twofer”. I love Twofers, don’t you?? I used some batik charm squares along with the purple batik fat quarter given for the summer challenge, to make a table runner that I can show at the guild meeting in two days… and then it will be a gift, along with a matching candleholder and autumn candle, for the housewarming gift!! YAY!! A Twofer!! Then, after making the table runner yesterday and going out this morning to find the candle holder and candle, I got home to remember that I wanted to make a new guild name tag. The one I had was made in 2000 and is beyond grody!!! Yucko!! Time for a new one!!! So, I spent this afternoon making a new one!! I saw this one on Pinterest and thought it was so cute! (http://megsmonkeybeans.blogspot.com/2012/02/petite-piecing.html) So that gave me the idea to make my nametag with a sewing machine on it! I snagged this logo off the Bernina newsletter to use as my inspiration!! I used graph paper to plan out my little sewing machine block. Then went through my stash scraps to find the perfect fabrics in fun colors. I knew I wanted to attach it to this cute sewing themed pin, which would make it easy to put on! It was really fun to create…and not a hard as I thought it would be with such tiny pieces. I am pleased with how it turned out and will be ready on Thursday now for our guild meeting!! Sooooo, whatcha working on???
